We're going on a road trip! Sure, it'd be nice to have a corvette cruising along Route 66, but even if your wheels are more mundane and the road goes to grandma's house, there's something mystical about a taking off on four wheels. Jane and Michael Stern give us some great road food finds. Plus, what every trip should have is a little stash of homemade sandwiches in the cooler. So, who better to talk to than Tom Coliccio? And, we'll get some advice from bread expert Father Dominic. Later, perfect picnic wine suggestions from Maureen Petrosky, and the ultimate road trip playlist from music critic Tom Moon. Also, real chuckwagon food, and three generations of southern cooks.
